Morey-Saint-Denis AOC 2021, Domaine Marchand-Grillot
Jacques Marchand and daughter Marion and son Etienne produce Burgundy wines which never fail to please. Their 5th generation vineyard in the Cote de Nuits is managed with style and elegance producing wines that are always a pleasure to drink.
In the glass
Bright dark red in colour with a powerful blackberry nose with hints of chocolate, which translate onto the palate with style and finesse alongside ripe tannins and sweet spice. Good Pinot Noir earthiness and a smooth, persistent wild berry finish.
No chemicals are used in the traditional viticulture practised by the family. Every grape that goes into this wine is hand selected before going through a cold maceration for 8 days before fermentation. This helps ensure that all the flavour, structure and elegance of the grape is maintained throughout the process. Only natural yeasts are used and the wine spends 20 days in the vats before aging for 3 years in oak barrels - one third of which are new oak.
About the vineyard
Six generations of the same family have worked these spectacular vines in the heart of Burgundy's prestigious Cote de Nuit. Sister and brother, Marion and Etienne Marchand currently ensure the vineyard's future with a focus on sustainability, attention to detail and fine wines of exceptional quality.
